is 15months to early to potty train?

my daughter is 15months old. i feel she may be ready to potty train becuase she dosnt even like to pee in her diaper she does one pee and she takes it off or pulls on it so that i take it off. but i dont want to potty train her to early and rewin her for when shes 2years and then its time to potty train. has anyone had experince with potty training a young toddler like this? and how did u do it? my daughter doesnt really talk she says the basic words,momma,daddy,bath,puppy,i love u things like that and she does communicate with me just fine. but i dont know if she will get potty training yet. thanks for reading.

I potty-trained 3 girls and all 3 trained after two years. They do start to show readiness signs earlier like communicating AFTER the go but there is a BIG difference between that and being able to control the urge to go. I personally find 15 months to young to do this. But you can certainly introduce her to the potty chair and get her to start practicing. I just wouldn't have high expectations of being diaper free anytime soon.

I think it's definitely good to get her comfortable with the bathroom. Some kids start sooner but it's usually once they are at least two that they can really understand everything and are truly ready to take on potty training 100%. But if she is curious and you think she would do well why not? Every kid is different and maybe you'll be one of the lucky parents that won't have to fork out money for diapers soon! Good luck :)

I would go for it. At 18m, I taught my daughter to recognize when she had to pee or poop. Then I let her be without a diaper in the house and showed her where to pee and poop. They understand just about everything you say, so I don't feel her ability to talk is an issue. My daughter clearly communicated everything she wanted around 8m without saying a word.
